Peter Obi’s Son Oseloka Denies Viral Gay Rumors, Says Photos Are Malicious Fabrications

Peter Obi’s son, Oseloka, has broken his silence over viral photos being circulated online, allegedly showing him with a gay partner.

In a press statement issued on Thursday, August 21, 2025, Oseloka dismissed the claims as malicious fabrications aimed at tarnishing his image and distracting from Nigeria’s real problems.

“Dear Nigerians, I have refrained from engaging with the vitriol, scorn, and suspicion directed at me online because I was not raised to trade in lies or indulge in false narratives. I did not do so as a child, and I will not begin now as a grown man,” he wrote.

Oseloka described the online attacks as a persistent pattern linked to his father’s political career.
“Because of my father’s involvement in Nigerian politics, there has been persistent curiosity and, at times, malicious obsession with me. I have no social media presence, so I rarely correct these falsehoods. But perhaps it is time I address them,” he said.

He condemned the use of ordinary photos to fuel false narratives:
“This pattern has become all too familiar. Individuals opposed to my father seize ordinary images — neither hidden nor secret — and repackage them with false stories. These are not revelations or exposés. They are fiction spun from pictures. It is gossip.”

Clarifying his personal and professional life, Oseloka noted that he is an actor who has built his own career without relying on his father’s name or wealth.
“My chosen path is in theatre and filmmaking, an industry that embraces diversity. I portray characters vastly different from myself, yet some online use these roles against me and my father, presenting fiction as fact. I trust any rational person can see how absurd this is.”

He urged Nigerians to focus on the country’s pressing challenges instead of fabricated scandals.
“Nigeria has far greater issues — insecurity, a weakened economy, crumbling infrastructure, failing healthcare — yet, for some, the priority is gossip about who Peter Obi’s son appears with in a photo. This is a distraction from the real crises.”

Reaffirming his support for his father, Oseloka added:
“My father has my vote, not because he is my father, but because he is the right man for the job. If others wish to go low, invent scandals, or attack me to wound him, they are free to do so. But we will go high, and we will continue to focus on the future of Nigeria.”

He concluded by calling on detractors to stop spreading lies and allow public attention to remain on issues that truly affect Nigerians.
